TheAuthority of the Church has made the greatest Princes and most haughtySovereigns fall prostrate before, and pay Adoration to the vilestTrumpery, and accept of, as Presents of inestimable Worth, despicableTrifles, that had no Value at all but what was set upon them by theGigantick Impudence of the donors, and the childish Credulity of theReceivers. The Church misled the Vulgar, and then made Money of theirErrors. There is not an Attribute of God, and hardly a Word in theBible, to which she ga...ve not some Turn or other, to serve her WorldlyInterest. The Relief of Witch-craft was the Fore-runner of Exorcisms;and the Priests forged Apparitions to shew the Power they pretendedto, of laying Spirits, and casting out Devils. To make accusedPersons, sometimes by Ordeal, at others by single Combat, try theJustice of their Cause, were both Arrows out of her Quiver; and it isfrom the latter, that the Fashion of Duelling took its Rise. But thosesingle Combats at first were only fought by Persons of great Quality, and on some considerable Quarrel, when they ask'd Leave of theSovereign to decide the Difference between them by Feats of Arms;which being obtain'd, Judges of the Combat were appointed, and theChampions enter'd the List with great Pomp, and in a very solemnManner.
